    head pressure calculations

    Your limiting factor is the 3/4". Can't tell from your description but it sounds like you have 3/4" all the way? If so, flow will be severely slowed down by the 3/4" piping. Most flow charts are with the largest pipe sized at the outlet. So in the case of the M2, I believe that is 1 1/4" or...

    Going to LA next week. What are the best fish stores to visit?

    If you can get into Sea Dwelling, it would be a cool tour. Keep an eye out for the Apexs on site!! Most of the good ones have been mentioned. LAX, Ellis (small store but nice corals), Vivid, UC has a new store that is open to public, I think its open.

    What is your heater setup? I think mine is inefficient.

    That has never been a Neptune Systems recommendation. It maybe someone's but it is not ours'. If it is something you choose to do, by all means, it is your choice. Here is why language comes into play. If this is YOUR recommendation, please say so. The way it is worded makes it sound like an...

    What is your heater setup? I think mine is inefficient.

    I highly recommend the Innovative Marine heaters and heater control. They have controllers that you can plug regular heaters into now. Below is the temp graph. No, I am not using the EB832 in this instance because the accuracy of the controller is excellent!

    What is your heater setup? I think mine is inefficient.

    Would love to see where it says it is not a recommended use. I've been using an EB832 to control heaters since 2016.

    A good friend of mine has built-ins in both the houses he's owned so far. The current one in SD is rectangular, to match the modern architecture the house has.

    Thinking about sumps....

    Aww.. too late to give you my suggestion. If going tor Trigger, I prefer the tideline series. But I would have gone Bashsea or Synergy or Geo's before Trigger. Neptune Aquatics has a local sump guy and he makes fantastic sumps. I have 1 in my 150 right now!

    Top down camera thingy

    Are those bubbles in the seal between tube and bottom? Not the normal Avast quality I've seen. I like Building An Obsession acrylic products better.

    Diy trident reagents.

    My CA and Alk consumption is not in 'ratio'. My alk is being being taken up at a faster rate than Ca is. If I were to only pay attention to Alk, my CA would be super high by the end of the week much less end of the month. I am using a CaRx.

    There is only 1 area in Shoreline that you can fly kites at. It is a pretty good area. Baylands park is also good. But you have to contend with other park users and sometimes RC flyers. It is shared use. There is an upcoming Kid's and Kites festival in Fremont this weekend 5/14. It usually...

    ap700 or reef90's or ai hd16s

    Update the firmware. I would contact Kessil to see if they have a solution for you. You could always run it standalone, not connected to your WiFi.

    The great light debate - hopefully not…

    Where are you located? Might be able to find you an example to look at. If you like the flat T5 look, the SKYs will do that for you. As you mentioned, you can add some other point source LEDs for added shimmer if you prefer more. Full tank shot of the lobby tank. SPS on the sand are growing...

    Apex tutorial

    As for the in-person vs online, it is sometimes more beneficial to be able to demonstrate something that you can participate in. Eg, in the last talk, we touched on salinity. I had everyone bring their measuring devices and we did a little experiment. The results were enlightening. I was...

    SCA tank reviews

    Did you price it directly from CDA vs from an LFS for the same tank? I would try that and check the price for the same tank through a CDA dealer like Neptune to compare. I think you will find that price to be very very close if not the same. Was the LFS you talked to a CDA stocking dealer...
